So I just replied to someone on YouTube and it ended up become a nice little essay on software pirating, techniques I've used to get more exposure as a small musician and mastering services like LANDR that automatically master songs for a small fee, using an algorithm that analyses the audio and applies EQing, compression and limiting in ways that it thinks the song needs it. I'm not a fan of these services and the article will help understand why.
Even if you're not a musician or any kind...
